I am wondering why the media outlets aren’t calling Michigan yet?

More eyeballs, more clicks.

If I understand correctly, Biden would be at exactly 270 if everything goes as it is currently projected.
However, only 67% are counted in Nevada right now, and it's pretty close. Is there a realistic chance that Nevada could turn around and give Trump the necessary votes?

It's possible, a little more so since Trump over-performed among Latinos.
But that possibility doesn't seem to be animating the knowledgable election watchers. Even that GOP-leaning polling firm that called FL, MN, MI etc for Trump predicts a Biden win there.

@LuFins-Dad I think you're underappreciating how much the new media landscape has broken the dominance of traditional media. (and this will continue to be the trend)
It's the same thing that led to wokeness / mass protests without even a figurehead.

51% of Americans get their news online, 35% from tv, 9% from radio and 5% from print media. Many of those online are visiting sites such as NYT or CNN.
If the vast majority of all types of media were biased against Trump (they were), how does this effect the vote? If Biden is elected, it is in large part due to media bias and Trump's personality. The media has helped elect a dementia patient as POTUS.
But, there is a silver lining. A Biden presidency is going to be a disaster, if he follows through on his promises.

ABC just retracted their call for Arizona and put it back into toss/up.

American elections are like NASCAR (the alternative to motor racing) - the rules are tailored to guarantee the maximum amount of uncertainty so that it isn't until right at the end that some guy who doesn't appear to be quite all there is declared the ultimate victor.

Supposedly there are 500K ballots from a solid Trump area coming in.

Are they in the back of Giuliani's SUV by any chance?

My understanding is they want PA to stop counting until the question of non-postmarked ballots and new ballot arrivals is resolved. Arizona is not adding new ballots, just still counting those they already received.
